Review: All-natural, all-Canadian Saint Cosmetics

When shopping for new makeup products, there are two factors that appeal to a lot of Canadian women in 2015: natural and Canadian-made. Unfortunately, there aren't a ton of options that check off both boxes and also give amazing results. Enter Saint Cosmetics, a Canadian makeup company available online and in their retail location in Aurora, Ontario. The entire collection of well over 100 products contains natural ingredients and is free of fragrance, parabens, sulfates and other chemicals that can irritate the skin. Recently, a Saint makeup artist came to my home to apply a little paint for my birthday—and I loved the results.
Keisha used all Saint Cosmetics products to create the look above including foundation, concealer, bronzer, blush, eyeshadow, liner, mascara and lipstick. I was worried that the foundation wouldn't match my skin tone, that the colours would be garish and they would melt off my face within a couple hours—all concerns when trying out a new makeup line. But I had nothing to fear. I loved every colour that Keisha used on my face, everything blended with my skin and the makeup lasted throughout the day. The reddish-brown eyeshadow brought out my blue eyes and the pink lipstick was the perfect complement to my complexion. Here are a few of the shades that Keisha used on me:
Saint Cosmetics Lipstick in City of Angels, $22; Saint Cosmetics Eyeshadow in All Hell Broke Loose, $24; Saint Cosmetics Blush in Precarious Peach, $29, saintcosmetics.ca. What do you think of the look?
